A Patterson Analysis derived from the Cyclol C2 Skeleton
Abstract
I AM grateful to Dr. D. Wrinch for pointing out an error in my previous communication on this subject with Dr. Fankuchen1. A check of the calculations showed that our previous Fig. 3 was, in fact, derived from an arrangement of the cyclol molecules with a tilt of 36°, as Dr. Wrinch states2, and not with a tilt of 6° as we had, by an unfortunate misunderstanding, assumed. This arose from a wrong choice of reference line to define the tilt, suggested, although certainly quite unjustifiably, by Dr. Wrinch's original packing diagram.
